Black Ops 6 Modes and Key Features
Black Ops 6 Campaign
Black Ops 6 is a sequel to Black Ops Cold War and takes players back to the turbulent early 1990s.
This era, marked by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the outbreak of the Gulf War, offers fertile ground for a gripping spy thriller.
The following game description further sheds light on the campaign’s captivating narrative.
“As the Gulf War dominates the global spotlight, a secret, sinister force has infiltrated the highest levels of the CIA and brands anyone who resists as traitors. Black ops veteran Frank Woods and his team have been banished from the agency and country that once celebrated them as heroes, and are now hunted by the military machine that created them.”
Black Ops 6 Multiplayer
Prepare for thrilling gunfights on 16 new maps, including 12 6v6 core maps and four “Strike” maps. Strike maps are more compact and allow for 2v2 matches or chaotic 6v6 battles.
Black Ops 6 also introduces an innovative system called Omnimovement, which allows players to sprint, slide, and dive in any direction, including forward, sideways, and backward.
According to the developers, this allows players to “seamlessly chain together combat maneuvers, such as slides, dives, and a newly improved supine position, all with a full 360-degree range of motion.”
To further improve accessibility and gameplay flow, the game features Intelligent Movement. This customizable feature automatically assists with sprinting, throwing, and crouching movements, reducing the number of button presses required to perform these maneuvers.
The popular Call of Duty Prestige system makes a comeback in BO6. As you level up, you have the option to reset your progress and unlock new Prestige levels with exclusive rewards, keeping the grind exciting.
Additionally, BO6 features extensive HUD customization options, immersive audio and visual effects, new operators, and new and returning weapons, equipment, and perks.
Further details on multiplayer, including the MP beta, will be announced during the Call of Duty NEXT event on August 28, 2024.
Black Ops 6 Zombies
Turn-based zombies are back in BO6. Zombies mode focuses on the turn-based survival gameplay that delighted fans in previous titles.
Two maps are available at launch, Liberty Falls and Terminus, full of impressive weapons, power-ups and classic Easter eggs for dedicated zombie hunters to discover.
Particularly noteworthy are the movement mechanics, stunning graphics, impressive audio design and the diverse arsenal of weapons introduced in multiplayer mode, which are also available in Zombies mode.
